In 2021, the WBPL Board worked with staff and the information gleaned from the 2019/2020 New Library Programs and Services Needs Assessment report provided by consultant MASS LBP to develop a new 2022-2026 Strategic Plan.

During the planning process, the Board identified a list of core values; fundamental beliefs, and guiding principles of the organization. As well, the Board updated the library’s mission and vision statements to ensure that they reflect the library’s values.

The 2022-2026 Strategic Plan includes four main goals with 18 objectives designed to provide staff with the library’s priorities; elements to be addressed during the planning of all programs and services.

Please view the 2022-2026 WBPL Strategic Plan document for insight into the library’s designated values, mission, vision, goals and objectives.
